ParkZone Sukhoi Su-26m. The Complete Review.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2024
- This is a complete review of the Parkzone Sukhoi fully aerobatic micro airplane. It is designed for indoor flying, but the winds were light today, so I thought I would do the test flying outside.
It is a great little plane. The prop can easily be broken, due to lack of clearance when landing, so make sure to flare or land only on grass.
Aerobatic fliers, take note, that there is not much mass, so you will find this plane a lot more sensitive than a big Nitro plane.
But once you get it dialed in, you will find this plane will do all maneuvers in the book very nicely. I set my ailerons on Half Rate at 60% and elevator at 80%.
I purchased the Plane at HobbyTown USA in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
I have been seeing ads for this plane since Christmas, 08, and finally 5 days ago, they shipped.
If you want one, you better get on the horn and get one ordered.
Again, this is no beginner's plane. If you think you can teach yourself to fly on this, I advise you to beware.
You wouldnt jump in a real one and say Hey, Ill just figure it out!
LOL
But if you already can fly.....well, you will love it.
I love mine.
Happy Flying,

Best RC flight reviews on the net bar none... nice work Dave!
Got mine a few days ago and I love it. Removed the spinner and moved the pushrods for max throw. Batt as far back as possible. Great fun for the cash.
Got mine a few days ago and absolutely love it. Another great review Dave and great camera work Jeff. That little thing is hard enough to keep your eyes let alone keep in frame on a camera.
omg this plane is to die for. one of the coolest planes ive ever seen. i cant wait to get my hands on one.
I've had many hours of experience being a cameraman for Dave. I should be ready for Hollywood soon. LOL. Thanks for the compliment.
Jeff
Never realized the Sukhoi had prop planes today, really cool stuff
I just picked up mine today by some miracle--got the last one. It certainly is no joke why it ships with the extra prop. Luckily I saw your vid first and bought an extra on top of having the spare one. I broke it on the first landing. It seems to nose down quite a bit so I moved the battery all the way back. It was definately worth the $89 bucks.
I can't help but place my fingers where they would be on a controller whenever I watch these videos of planes flying around :P
Just got mine today. I was thinking even before I saw this video that you would want to fly it in medium length grass and hand launch only to start out with. Luckily that's what I did and the plane is extremely resistant to mild crashes as long as it's in the grass. MUCH more maneuverable than the Vapor. It feels like flying a tiny Typhoon 2 3d.
thanks for reviewing this one, and nice flying. Couple of useful tips in there. I've been wanting to get this little beauty for a while, and this certainly has helped my decision.
Great job Dave!!! Nice fun flier
Another great flying airplane. Thanks for letting me hold the reigns for a bit. That thing is really fun! 5*

Nice demo, Dave...I look forward to seeing you put the Sukhoi thru it's paces inside the gym.
nice demo vid jim, i got one when launched in the u.k but have had no time to try it out yet, some great tips thanks.
The P51 vs Sukoi, is like apples to oranges.
One is a Stunt plane and the other a scale warbird.
I would recommend the Sukhoi, as it offers more flight options.
They are both 2.4ghz radios. The dx7 is just a step up from the dx6i. They are both great radios so you wouldn't be disappointed with either one of them.
Jeff
GREAT VIDEO! This plane is for experienced flyers, get the parkzone micro citabria for a learner plane, its much more forgiving. 99 bucks complete ready to fly with transmitter included.
Very nice, just the thing for buzzing the pidgeons!
if you have this plane, you really need to change the prop to a gws 5043. you will also need an adapter to make it fit. I am using zippy 350mah 20c battery and getting 15-17 minute flights. The battery and prop make this plane one heck of alot more fun. The prop will give you lots more power and its more durable and lower profile.. good plane great fu!
Nice flying and awesome quick cameraing. Does it require full throttle most of the time to keep it in the air or can you back off some?
very nice looking airplane, nice sound also, nice vid guys, well done !
wow saw this at a local hobby shop, looks like a good buy
Great Video Dave. I have only been flying for a few short months but I love my little sukhoi. I only have a DX5e, so I don't have the expo and other computer Tx features but it sure flies great.
nice one dave, lucky the winds decided to leave you alone for once :P
the cx2 can and has lifted two nine volt batteries, not to sound snide at all. I do change the pitch of the blades by twisting lightly for some extra lift, just in hauling and not run hard. my idea was to run the heli from the 9v as well as the camera
I see you finally got one!!
This little plane is nice.
Only really two drawbacks. One is the price... in today's market, $100 for molded foam and the skimpy electronics it has is really a lot of money with no Tx. And it's weight means no wind flying.
Its the only thing on my christmas list. Cant wait!
I wonder how long it will be before we start seeing micro P-51's and EDF jets bombin around the sky. It is only a matter of time......... Great video Dave, 5/5
that is a wicked little plane
That Plane is very Cool! It does amazing tricks!

very nice vid, as always, very informative. do you have to buy all the planes you do reviews on?
Very nice young man and it looks a bit twitchy to me on your first flight but you and Jeff still made it look easy to fly,the second flight looked more like it as you put the battery more to the front and that seemed to make it look like it flies a lot better ;-) 5*
I always spend some good money after seeing that hobbytown usa sign..
that looks like a fun little plane to fly =P
Actually, $100 is relatively cheap. I would expect to buy each individual part for something like this (not actual retail).
Charger ($10)
Battery ($5)
ESC ($10)
3 servos ($25)
Reciever ($30)
Motor ($5)
All adds up to $85 if everything was sold "reasonably." $15 and you get the airframe with it for $100. It's a pretty good deal considering the liberties I took. Normally micro servos cost a LOT of money (like $40 for two).
Stay tuned...I'm sure we'll be going there in the next day or two.
Jeff
pretty kewl lil flying machine.
great video... i see these things at my lhs and always wanted to see one fly...might have to get one
Hey nightflyer,
I don't know if you saw this, but according to spektrum you should mount the battery at the rear most position. They have a nice set up on expos and d/r for this plane. Check it out on their website. I saw it when I was looking up info on my DX7
I was wondering why the last vid cut off RIGHT after the words appeared on the screen. I had to pause it to read it. :)
Great Review! I am thinking about getting one and i am not sure if i should get this or the cessna 210. I think i will get the Sukhoi tho. Do you think i will have any sucess with this if I have had experiance with the Vapor and Ember 2?
Aight thanks. Well unfortunatley I won't have enough for a DX6i so I'll get a DX5e for now and eventually advance up when I get more helis and planes
i got my plane there and my losi mini desert truck there. it is a great store!
Great Video! I would like to have such a store in my area.
I agree. It is kinda like flying a mini Typhoon.
Now I really want one!
that's funny. Don't hold back though. Go for the park 480. Mine doesn't seem to have as much power as I would like personally. It stalls going into loops if I don't dive down a bit to pick up speed. Other than that it's awesome.
id say i was well worth the wait.. i waited 3 months and im glad i did
you need to by the dx5e kit with the ar5500 reciever
then you hold in the trainer switch while you turn on the transmitter
Hi Dave. your all videos are outstanding and your skills too. I just wanna ask that i have flown some traniers like a 4ch f6f hellcat and a esky 4ch nemo. so i wanted to buy a ultra micro plane so should i by a eflite ultra micro 4site or the parkzone sukhoi su-26m which one you would recommend kindly reply plz thanks & rgds maxrisk
I've got a strong feeling that the ember transmitter will work with the sukhoi. Considering its the same transmitter that comes with the RTF sukhoi.
PS: If you want a small outside flyer, I would recommend the ultra micro p51, its a little faster, and a little more well built. I'd get it instead of the sukhoi, but thats my opinion.
You can buy it at Amazon, Horizon Hobby, Red Rocket Hobby Shop just about any place that sells planes.
Sioux Falls is a great town. I have rollerbladed the path along the river. Spun the wheels on your skates there yourself?
Nice video. I would have had one yesterday had my sale with my MLST2 gone through but it didnt! So my main question is will my 4CH mcx transmitter or dads 5CH CX2 transmitter work temporarily until I can get enough money for a DX5e?
@ashchetum
Yes the P51 in stock form is slightly faster, but if you replace the Sukhoi prop with a GWS, the speed is the same.
The props are different of both models
This is the blade MCX of the planes:D if you understand what i mean, (4ch about 1oz the charger, et cetera)
nice review im saving up for one
if you buy one of these micro planes keep in mind that the slightest wind makes it really hard to land them properly
Hahaha...I think the Nightflyyer-a-pult would be a little too strong to launch a 1.1 ounce airplane. The wings might rip right off the airplane I think.
Jeff
haha....Do not land on assfault!! nice video dave!
nice dave woot i want one now hey question could an esc burn out a servo? and esc's arnt sposta get hot when there just running servos are they?
hey Dave i got back into R/c flight, i want to get a camera mounted to a cx2 and go for a flight, but i wanted your opinion, would a 900Mhz wireless cam, or a 2.4xx Ghz camera function better?
How do you lke the sukhoi? Does it fly good since its small? I looking to get my first Rc plance. Would you recommend this for a beginner?
True, thanks for the correction. I was not aware of this when I posted this comment. But I think that the P51 is still faster. Am I right? Thats flat out speed I'm talking of.
I have the Parkzone Ember which flies beutifully. I would like to move on the the Sukhoi Su-26m BNF but would you know if the transmetter I got with the Ember will work the the Sukhoi? It is a 4 channel unit even though the Ember only uses 3 channels.
actually it will hover but it constantly torque rolls. im planning to put an eflite park 180 in mine.
nice dave 5*!
wow thats a very nice store
Thank you. :-)
Jeff
que lindo avioncito muy bueno ¿los regalan cuando compras caramelos ? jaaaa very good
It does but they dont recomend it because it is alot harder to fly with that transmitter
that looks cool is it a beginner model ?
Hey, I was wondering if it does any hovering? Or does it not have the power to do so? Even though it's 1.1 ounces :P
are these things any good for 3d flying or hovering or are they too standard for that?
Can you bind this plane with the transmitter that comes with the RTF Night Vapor (it says that it is DSM2, and I think it's 4 channels but it's only using 3)?
well will it fly in the living room or is it too fast?
very interesting and great flight but like i said on the other video there is no way you could catch me flyin that lol, i would be so afraid of crashing in any sort of wind because it looks so light, :(
great vid gave..honestly is it worth the price tag/ i would like to see it drop down to 70 80 range. you?
hi. Does it hover?
What kind of batteries does it use, and what kind of batteries CAN it use?
Hi! I have a Blade CX2, and I would like to know if it is possible to use its radio to control the Sukhoi. Thx.
when you are landing on grass with thye weels of, does the tailweel fall of then?
Yes, these small aircraft get bullied around by the buzzards. :( Your plane actually got hit by one?
I remember my 4G3 micro CCPM heli got chased by a little heckling bird. The 4G3 is way more maneuverable than this plane but the bird stayed with me for a good 5 to 8 seconds before it broke off pursuit. If the bird hit the rotor blades, it would have been a sight!
when my throttle is on my elevator stops working... you have to twich the control for it to react.... but when the throttle is off then it has no problem any ideas doctor dave?
i love that place !!!!!!
Except that the mcx is the least squirrely sub-micro heli and the sukhoi is probably the most squirrely sub-micro plane.
I just got one of these but I can't get it to bind to my Vapor transmitter. As soon as you plug battery into plane, the plane just has epileptic glitch episode. Never gets itself to calm down and flash light to start bind.
Good flight Dave! If you get a chance, look at my vid of the Sukhoi getting blown out by a Squall thrust vectored! Regards!
Can you bind this plane to the transmitter that comes with theRTF Night Vapor?
Thanks!
would this work on a 4 channel radio? at the beginning of your video it says at least 5 channel?
sir i'm buying t-28 ultra micro this coming dec 18, and i'm going to buy BNF version..and a dsm2 transmitter in the local hobby shop is it possible to bind ultra micro from parkzone with other transmitter?
my elevator stops working when my throttle is on... but when i take the throttle off it works fine? any ideas?
im looking for a good brushless setup for mine, any suggestions and where to purchase? thanks!
@flyfalcon91 have u got a Spektrum 2.4ghz DSM2 module for it?
The Vapor prop is to small, and the pitch is too shallow. The motor is about double the size, I think the gearbox is the same, the receiver/esc is 6 channels.
the term is flying but yes you have to have lots of experience.
hi, I have just bought this plane, it climbs with maybe 20-40 degree angle.
The battery lastet for maybe 2 minutes (I tried with 130Mah 12C too, but the flying time was actualy less even though it had benn charged more recently)
PLZ help!
What can I do?
hey how much flying experience should i have before i can fly this
thank you
rockonmyfriend
ha ha yea, i got an aerobird challenger about 5yrs. ago been crashed a bunch 3-4 wings and some tape still flys, oh and rubberbands ha ha ha , get some altitude full throttle easier to turn half throt, w/a little up stick keeps level on turn, no throt, slow controls will glide down, the range on mine is 2500 ft, plenty good, find a large open place and try not to be scared, i painted one half wing for orientation. control is backwards coming at ya. have fun!
